ARENA some ideas From: jacobus@rock-opera.cc.purdue.edu (Bryan J. Maloney) Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1993 00:54:18 +0000 Okay, after reading through the Arena stuff, I've come up with a few ideas: It looks like the gladiators have no minds, I'd like to see some sort of mental attribute to measure general wits and/or cunning. I would also very much like to see the implementation of skills of some sort. Only having attributes to play with is extremely limiting. The mental attribute or attributes could contribute to how well one learns things. I would like to see the game have some sort of actual limitations as to how many times one can submit to play in X time, so that those of us who do not live on the terminal (i.e., have a wife, and a life) don't get swamped by folks with an intravenous Internet feed. Aside from the above, I'll have to see how it plays (The Marxists are being sent in right now). I do think that all of the above are very important, however. -- Bryan Maloney Referenced By Up
